UFC champ Tyron Woodley not happy with this knockout highlight clip

I mean, the timing does suck if you’re UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

Woodley, who earned the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA welterweight rankings after dethroning Robbie Lawler earlier this year, is a bit miffed about why the UFC’s social-media team would highlight one of his past losses.

As fight week approaches, the UFC’s social-media platforms are busy with all sorts of postings – event previews, fighter features, behind-the-scenes happenings and even the occasional video highlights.

Take for instance this one of Nate Marquardt (34-16-2 MMA, 12-9 UFC), who fights fellow middleweight Tamdan McCrory (14-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) next week at UFC Fight Night 96, which takes place Oct. 1 and airs on FS1 from Moda Center in Portland, Ore. (Marquardt vs. McCrory closes out the early prelims on UFC Fight Pass).

Ahead of the fight, this highlight of Marquardt knocking out Woodley (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) at a 2012 Strikeforce event appeared on UFC Fight Pass’ Twitter account:

The social-media folks probably didn’t mean it as an insult to Woodley (after all, how many UFC Fight Pass fighters own wins over current champs?), but it was hard for him not to take it that way (via Twitter):

@UFCFightPass wow really? Show what I did 2 Koscheck, Condit, Kim, Lawler, Daley, Hieron. The disrespect! Also tell about the TRT exemption

Woodley looks to defend his title and fights Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) on Nov. 12 at the UFC 205 card in New York City. However, the champ took some flak prior to the official booking when he expressed interest in opponents – namely Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz – rather than Thompson.
